Fraize, town of about 3,000 inhabitants, capital of Canton, is located in the heart of the Vosges, in the Regional Natural Park of Ballons des Vosges.
Its area is 1559 hectares including 653 hectares of communal forest and 150 hectares of private forest.
She is a member of the Community of Municipalities of the Valleys of the Upper Meurthe et Pays de la Déodatie.
Fraize vestiges of the past as a textile chimney "Avelines" built in 1891 which is the highest of the department (63 m). This renovated factory becomes the Pole of Eco-Construction des Vosges.
She is an active city: many marketers offer their services every day. The weekly market, the largest in the sector, drains every Friday a very large crowd and not just in summer.
It has a strong agricultural identity, but also an outsourcing industry that replaced the textile industry in recent decades.
With its industrial zones and new Pole Eco-construction (rehabilitation of a former textile factory), Fraize fits perfectly into the rural landscape.
The environmental protection and biodiversity remain a key concern in a quality of life concern for Fraxiniens.
